The port of the Lode Runner game on the NES remains the best and most importantly this is the very first game made not by Nintendo itself, but by third-party developer and publisher Hudson Soft!!!

Its also the first American game to hit Japan. As far as I know, its also the best selling port of the game, as most people that played the game on computer got it from a pirated copy of the game.

I remember playing lode runner at school when i was young (1990~1994). No idea which version it was nor which computer it was played on, but I remember levels had different colors (I remember levels with blue bricks, and others with red bricks). However, the longplays of all the versions I have watched so far only have one color. Any idea which version it could be? It was somewhat like ZX Spectrum / Commodore 64 / Enterprise 64 / BBC Micro versions I believe.

@bartekmil11 ай бұрын
Legend Returns/Mad Monks revenge are the absolute best versions - great music(atleast from psx/saturn version on), beautiful drawn graphics that are not too retro but not too modern either, great gameplay additions(bombs, items )that don't interfere with classic gameplay too much(if the level doesn't have them you play just like the old lode runner), online and splitscreen multiplayer, easy level editing/sharing for infinite replay value. It's just the absolute best of the ports

Loricel did some good sound sample compression in the ST adaption! I always admire the fact they managed to get the old speaker to play authentic samples as a means of music and sound effects in an otherwise primitive sound card. The game controls in their games may not be very good, but I definitely can say that they win in the sound department for computer games in the mid-late 1980s!

Along with a level editor, this freebie has thousands of levels available including the original and Championship ones.

Interesting Irem’s Arcaro version replaced the robot guards with cavemen, and one SNES version had the focus on sweets instead of gold (the runner had to get candies instead of gold bullion) while another had the runner as an anthropomorphic animal. Lode Runner Legacy you wonder if in the non-classic mode it was Minecraft-inspired.

First version I’ve played was the NES version, and to be fair, those Hudson Soft ports seem to have the most aggressive AI.
